Thanksgiving cornucopia apple spice cupcakes with cinnamon caramel buttercream plus recipe link

When blogger Diary of a Mad Hausfrau bakes, she goes all out, and her creations always look so amazing and have a story behind them, and these Thanksgiving apple spice cupcakes with cinnamon caramel buttercream are no exception! She's also got the recipe for the cupcakes, in addition to telling you how she made the beautiful fondant toppers. She writes:

Now for the cupcake flavor. I had apple sauce left in the refrigerator from another project and threw together a quick recipe for apple pie spice cupcakes. The buttercream was amended from a vanilla buttercream recipe. I just omitted the vanilla and added ground cinnamon and a bit of caramel sauce.

The combination of the apple pie spice and cinnamon buttercream was wonderful. A real fall flavored treat. The flavors worked so well together that the pumpkin pie spice flavored fondant was probably overkill but most people just peel off the fondant before eating the cupcake anyway.

The perfect Thanksgiving cupcake!
